Description

Plane heat source
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of plane heat source, relate in particular to a kind of plane heat source based on CNT.
Background technology
Thermal source plays an important role in people's production, life, scientific research.Plane heat source is a kind of of thermal source.Plane heat source is two-dimensional structure, and heat object the top that heated material is placed in this two-dimensional structure, and therefore, plane heat source can heat simultaneously to each position of heated material, heating surface is large, homogeneous heating and efficient higher.Plane heat source successfully is used for industrial circle, scientific research field or sphere of life etc., as electric heater, electric blanket, infrared therapeutic apparatus and electric heater etc.
Existing plane heat source generally comprises a heating element heater and at least two electrodes, and these at least two electrodes are arranged at the surface of this heating element heater, and is electrically connected to this heating element heater.When passing into voltage or electric current by electrode to heating element heater, because heating element heater has larger resistance, pass into the electric energy energy transform into heat energy of heating element heater, and discharge from heating element heater.Commercially available plane heat source adopts the heating wire that wire or carbon fiber are made to carry out the electric heating conversion as heating element heater usually now.
Yet wire or carbon fiber all have the shortcoming that intensity is not high, electric conversion efficiency is lower and quality is larger.Wire is easy to fracture, and is particularly repeatedly crooked or easily produce tiredly when being converted into certain angle, therefore uses and is restricted.In addition, the heat that heating wire was produced made from wire or carbon fiber is to extraradial with common wavelength, its electric conversion efficiency is not high is unfavorable for saving the energy, need add snearing to have the cotton thread of far ultrared paint to improve electric conversion efficiency, is unfavorable for energy-conserving and environment-protective.Carbon fiber and quality wiry are all larger, are unfavorable for making the thermal source lightness.Simultaneously, the carbon fiber size is not little, is unfavorable for being applied to miniature thermal source.
Since the early 1990s, (see also Helical microtubules of graphiticcarbon with CNT, Nature, Sumio Iijima, vol 354, p56 (1991)) caused that with its unique structure and character people pay close attention to greatly for the nano material of representative.In recent years, along with deepening continuously of CNT and nano materials research, its wide application prospect constantly displayed.The people such as Fan Shoushan disclose a kind of nanometer flexible electric heating material on December 19th, 2007 in No. the CN101090586Ath, a disclosed Chinese patent application.This thermo electric material comprises a flexible substrate and is dispersed in a plurality of CNTs in described flexible substrate.These a plurality of CNTs exist with powdered form, and adhesion is very weak to each other, can't form a self supporting structure with given shape.When the CNT of this powdered form was mixed with polymer solution, the CNT of this powdered form was very easily reunited, thereby it is inhomogeneous to cause CNT to disperse in matrix.Agglomeration when disperseing in polymer solution for fear of CNT, on the one hand, the mixture that needs to process by supersonic oscillations this CNT and polymer solution in the process of disperseing, on the other hand, in this thermo electric material, the quality percentage composition of CNT can not be too high, is only 0.1～4%.
And CNT is through after above-mentioned dispersion treatment, even CNT can be in contact with one another to each other, its adhesion also a little less than, can't form the carbon nano tube structure of a self-supporting.Because content of carbon nanotubes is few, the thermal response speed of thermoelectric material is fast not, and electric conversion efficiency is not high enough, therefore the heating temp of this thermo electric material is not high enough, has limited its range of application.In addition, for CNT is disperseed in liquid phase, during the preparation thermo electric material, its flexible substrate can only the selective polymer material, the polymeric material heat resisting temperature is lower, and the method for this kind employing dispersing Nano carbon tubes formation thermo electric material in liquid phase has limited the selection of matrix material.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, necessaryly provide a kind of electric conversion efficiency higher, the plane heat source of heating temp wider range.
A kind of plane heat source, it comprises: a heating element heater, this heating element heater comprises the carbon nano-tube film of the self-supporting of matrix and at least one one, the carbon nano-tube film of the self-supporting of described at least one one is embedded in this matrix, and substantially keeps compound shape before; And at least two electrode gap settings and being electrically connected to this heating element heater, this carbon nano-tube film is comprised of the CNT of a plurality of mutual windings.
A kind of plane heat source, comprise: a heating element heater and at least two electrode gap settings also are electrically connected to this heating element heater, wherein: this heating element heater comprises the CNT of a plurality of mutual windings, and matrix material, these a plurality of CNTs are by the carbon nano-tube film of the effect shape all-in-one-piece self-supporting of Van der Waals force, this matrix material permeates in this carbon nano-tube film, and be complex as a whole mutually with this carbon nano-tube film, form this heating element heater, in this heating element heater, this carbon nano-tube film keeps compound shape before substantially.
Compared with prior art, described plane heat source is due to the carbon nano-tube film that adopts self-supporting, carbon nano tube structure and matrix direct combination with this self-supporting, need not to solve the scattering problem of CNT, the content of CNT is unrestricted, CNT is still mutually combined keep the form of a carbon nano-tube film, make this thermal source have better heating properties.In addition, the kind of this matrix material is not limited to polymer, and temperature range is wide, makes the range of application of this thermal source more extensive.Carbon nano-tube film has uniform thickness and resistance, and heating is even, and the electric conversion efficiency of CNT is high.This plane heat source has the characteristics rapid, that thermo-lag is little, rate of heat exchange is fast, radiation efficiency is high that heat up.
